“Cara is awesome. My dog had a health problem while I was away and Cara smoothly managed specialized care including wound care and medication administration. She has excellent communication skills. My dog is always happy to see her. I have used Cara’s services before and plan on continuing to do so.”
“Adrianne was wonderful! Our three Chihuahuas loved her! Took interest in the instructions we left. She went above and beyond, watering our plants, putting the garbage out for pickup and keeping the house in good order. Would definitely have her dog/housesit again.”
“Savannah was amazing. She kept me in loop and stayed connected with me when I was gone. She didn't hesitate asking questions when she wasn't sure about something, instead of assuming what to do and I like that. My pups were happy and were well taken care of by her”
“Yanni, did a fabulous job. This is her second time caring for my 3 small pups. She not only loved and cared for them like her own, she also helped mw with a few minor household needs. My wife is in the hospital and it was a tremendous help. I will use Yanni again for sure.”
“Kaitlyn & Michael are amazing! They sent us pictures everyday of our pup & two kitties! Our big meat head of a dog LOVED Michael. They stayed at our house for a week & everything was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking & would highly recommend them! Thank you guys!!”
“Caleb did a wonderful job with my high energy, 9 mos old cattle dog. His communication was excellent, and he checked in unprompted daily. He took ambrosius on adventures (with approval first), which was greatly appreciated as i want my dog to be confident and comfortable in as many situations as he can be! My house was clean and organized upon return. I will definitely trust Caleb with the care of my dog and home again.”
“Emily is the best! She always ensures our pets are well taken care of and loved! She took our dog on extra long walks and when we came back the house was probably cleaner than when we left it. Highly highly recommend.”
“Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!”
About: I was a kennel technician for a little over 3 years and have fostered pets most of my life, I miss working with animals but had a career to focus on I work 9-5 on Tybee currently but make sure my own pet gets very consistent long walks before and after work every day and playtime at lunch on my days off❤️❤️ My dog has fantastic recall that we work on regularly with positive reinforcement. I also specialize in leash training stubborn puppies that like to pull
About: I've cared for the fuzzy family members of friends, family friends, and work friends for years. My own pets have been mostly senior rescues from owners who could no longer care for them. I have experience with medication, drop-ins, house-sitting, and more. I am currently an artist with open commissions, so my schedule is flexible and made for your pets. I usually crochet or draw when I care for lower-energy animals, and love playing with those with more energy. I am a no-shoes-in-house kind of person, and can bring separate house shoes if preferred. I am no stranger to cleaning up pet accidents. I keep to the living areas of the home, unless the pets are kept elsewhere, and provide a quiet presence for more introverted or timid animals. I ensure to adhere to the idea of "leave no trace", as though your home is the natural habitat for your pets.
“Baylee did a fantastic job watching my 2 dogs for a few days! Both dogs have feeding schedules and take medications and she followed everything to a T! I received lots of photos and a video, each time my dogs were very happy! When I came back from my trip, my house was in great order. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Had a great experience! Alexis was very patient with our nervous dogs and gave all of them a lot of attention! We received a lot of feedback and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: Hi! My name is Meg and here's a little bit about my experience as a pet sitter. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since 2021, cats and dogs both. That has meant everything from the easy stuff, feeding and walks and company, to the parts people actually worry about: giving medications on schedule, keeping up with monthly preventatives, and handling the unglamorous days when a dog has an upset stomach and needs watching. I have done the 2am cleanup and the anxious pacing by the door. None of it fazes me. One sit still stands out to me. A family friend needed someone last minute to care for their two dogs, who both had colds, while they were away for a week. They were understandably worried about leaving sick dogs behind. I stayed with the pair day and night, giving every dose of medication on time and just being there with them through it. By the time their owners got home, both dogs were one step away from a full recovery. That week is a good example of what I bring to a sit: I don't just check in, I stay present until the job is actually done right. I am happy to handle whatever your pet needs: boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, drop-in visits, walks, medication, or anything else specific to your routine. Just tell me what normal looks like for them and I will hold it as close as I can while you're away. I have also fostered cats and dogs, which gave me practice with nervous animals and slow, careful introductions. My own dog Lady came to me as a foster and never left. She is 5 years old, lab mix and an easygoing host. She would be the only other pet your dog is around. I'm currently working part-time so your pet will have to be alone for 5-6 hours only 2 to 3 days a week. My working days are also quite flexible so I can work it out according to your pet's needs! Either my home or yours, I will match your baby's routine and needs. Same feeding times, walk schedules, rules around furniture and crates. In your home, I will keep to your house rules and keep the space as you expect it when you're back! My home is quiet and pet friendly, with a fenced yard, walking routes in the neighborhood and a metal crate is available if your dog prefers one. Introductions with my dog, Lady will happen slowly and on neutral ground, and I do not leave dogs unsupervised together until I know how they get along. You will get many updates and photos while your pet is with me.
“Jennifer was amazing with our little Dixie. She is extremely responsible, trustworthy and a gem of a person. We had to extend our stay due to a medical issue for my wife, and she helped us out right away and said she would take of Dixie and for us to not worry. What a relief to have someone like that in your corner. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants a loving, caring human for their fur babies!”

Baylee was absolutely fantastic! Extremely timely and responsive, very good with my dogs, sent me pictures every day, asked me any questions, and went above and beyond tidying up the house! Cannot recommend Baylee enough for your pets, they are in the best of hands!
We had a wonderful experience with Sam while she stayed at our home. She took excellent care of our dogs, kept us regularly updated, and made sure they got plenty of enriching nature walks. The custom artwork she created of our animals was such a thoughtful and special touch. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montgomery walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montgomery maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montgomery choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
